It’s the perfect time of year to stop and take a minute to count your many blessings. We gathered some friends together for a gratitude blog hop because we wanted to let our families know just how much we love and appreciate them. Check out my project for a simple Cake Batter Snickerdoodle Recipe + Gift and then visit my friends to see what they created with the “Gratitude” theme. There are recipes, printables and family traditions included in this blog hop that I think you will LOVE!
I wanted to share with you guys a simple recipe as well as show you how to turn it into an easy and cute gift idea too. I thought it was a cute and simple gift idea perfect for those that you are thankful for. You can obviously fill it with any type of goodies you’d like but I filled mine with Cake Batter Snickerdoodles (a new recipe I just tried last week).
The whole thing was so easy to throw together. This is what you’ll need to do it too:
SUPPLIES:
– Jar
– Thankful print (available for download below)
– Ribbon/Twine/Jute
– Scrapbook Paper
– Glue Dots
– Treat of some sort
DIRECTIONS:
1. Download the tag you’d like to use by clicking on the image above. Then RIGHT-CLICK and SAVE. Open it in a program like word, Re-size it to what you’d like it to be and then print and cut out. Attach it to your jar using glue dots.
2. Add some scrapbook paper to the top by cutting out a circle in the size of your lid. Attach with glue dots. Also tie some ribbon or twine around the top.
3. Fill your jar with goodies!
CUTE & SIMPLE!!
You can also use the other tags to turn it into an Easy Christmas Gift Idea by filling it with some yummy treats like Almond Hershey’s Kisses:
Or a gift to give at ANY TIME by attaching it to a jar or wrapped loaf of bread (for yummy bread recipes you can check out: Snickerdoodle Bread, Banana Bread, White Chocolate Lemon Bread)
LOVE IT!!

A big, huge thank you to our families for their support and love. They are our guinea pigs, models, help us when we have last minute deadlines, don’t blink when we wear yoga pants for two days in a row and stick through the good, the bad and the ugly. We are so grateful for you.
Look at all these pretty faces! So much love in this collage:

Could you please post a new link for the neighbor tag? The current one links to a friends tag.
Thanks so much!!
The neighbor one isn’t working. It says “friends” again. Can you email me the neighbor one? It’s so cute!! Stephbagato@gmail.com
Can you try it again… it should be working now. 😉
Thankfulness to my father who stated to me on the topic of this web site,
this web site is genuinely awesome.
Hi…would you make a label to match saying thankful for sweet family like you? Would love to make it for my family members Thanks, Barb
I LOVE these tags. anyway you could create a tag that said “Thankful for parents like you”
That is cute!! Thanks for the tip 🙂
Thank you for these downloads! Used it today for little teacher’s gifts, and it was just perfect!
Oh, I am so glad you were able to use them 🙂 I bet they loved them! Thank you for letting me know!
That really creative. Thumbs up for the efforts! Thanks for sharing this
Thank you so much!!
I love the banana bread gift idea with your cute labels. I want to try but I can’t seem to find a nice clear bag to gift them in. Can you tell me where you got yours?
I can’t remember exactly where, but any grocery store should have gallon baggies that should fit them 🙂
can I prepare it without egg?
You need the egg. You could try googling how to substitute??
these snickerdoodles are simply so cute and adorable!
Awe, thank you so much!!
Thank you for this post. I love this idea. I love that you included several different ways to do it. This will be something I use this year. My mom had a spinal stroke a couple of months ago and our neighbors have been so helpful and kind so this is the perfect gift for them. Happy Holidays and Thanks again.
I am sorry to hear about your mom. These really do make the yummiest gift 🙂 Happy Holidays!!
I love you wonderful cookie treat idea. I’m having problems downloading the cards. Can you help me?
Thank you! It should print. I don’t have issues on my end. Could it be a setting on your computer?
Hi! I’m wanting to print this for some teachers for their birthday. Do you by chance have one that says Happy Birthday instead of Merry Christmas?
I don’t have a Happy Birthday version. Sorry about that!
